I know you probably REALLY want me to stop talking about this, but when a woman calls an ex-NFL QB a "girlie man"....I'm going to post about it. FOX's Laura Ingraham went on a rant about Brett Favre this past Friday that puts Sal Pal's piece to shame....

"All these years, and I didn't know there was a woman quarterback in the NFL. ...

"Brett Favre...we're watching this in the studio, obviously retiring from the NFL, great quarterback, handsome 38-year-old man, he gets up there and he does this press conference that was frankly one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen."

"That's a great message for young boys. 'Get up there and act like a girl and start blubbering like a baby."

Then, in her best impersonation of a crying toddler with its favorite toy taken away, she wah-wah-wah's while uttering in a mocking tone, "It's about me, it was never about me, but it is about me, bla, bla, bla" before returning to her regular voice and stating, "I could not believe what I was seeing."

That's right guys, it's NOT okay to cry, and you WANT a woman like Laura Ingraham in your life! Seriously.....I can't even put the words together to say how irresponsible and downright stupid that message is. Cheese and rice.

That is one UGLY BITCH! I don't watch Fox News anyway, first of all because I hate O'Reilly. I don't really give a damn what she thinks about Brett. In my book, he always has been, and always will be a class act!

I love the way Fox News always bitches about all the crap that those "Hollywood elite" give us to corrupt all of us. And yet who gives us the most offensive programming (such as "Temptation Island," "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire," and "The Moment of Truth")? You guessed it. Fox.

I used to like her, because she was the only woman, other than his wife, that never took any shit from Imus. But that was then, this is now. I have no feelings one way or the other about Fahv-ruh, but why doesn't Ms. Ingraham take Ann Coulter, and the two of them can go play tag on the Beltway at rush hour.

Uhhh... she's right. Be a man Brett. Your time has passed, move on and go hunt or whatever you Mississippi boys do. Nobody wants to see you weep like a little baby, why don't you complain about your supporting cast some more too while you're at it.

Anonymous (on Mar 11, 11:04 pm), the Packers asked Brett to come and give a farewell news conference. He didn't ask for it.Maybe in 30 years when you retire from the drive-thru window, I bet ole Ronald McDonald will ask you to have a news conference. I bet 2 people will show up, your mom and your aunt. You will cry like a little baby as you realize that you never could get a wife and your McDonald's retirement reward is for a free big mac only.

I have no idea why people are criticizing Favre for letting his emotions get to him in his retirement.

And yes,Hugging Harold Reynolds, you can laugh all you want at Vermeil and TO.

I mean it is one thing win Sweetness or Mantle is up there crying because they have a life ending illness. But what the hell was Farve crying about?

That he can't be the star QB in his life? He can't make 10mil a year for 6 months of work? He can't play back SNF telecasts to hear fatty fawn all over him.

Favre's retirement life will be so god damned blessed most of us wouldn't be able to live like that guilt-free. The only reason it seems hard for him because he is giving up a life most of us couldn't dream of. What a pussy. Too bad it took a rightwing, female, nut job to call him on it.

Hey, Mark B, we need MORE REPUBLICAN lovers or at least objective humans in the press.

2) Conservatives are sick of the feminization or the metrosexualization of a lot of guys. That was her point. If you don't like that, you wouldn't have been able to be a sports fan in the 1950's and 1960's.

If crying means you have been feminized what is our country coming to? I don't think that Brett Favre would be considered a metrosexual. Wrangler Jeans? Chevy Truck? The point is that lady does not know Brett from me, and she sounds ridiculous trying to talk about it. As for Steve B, I don't remember "win" Sweetness or Mantle retired because of an illness. Maybe your dad has died, maybe your father in law has died, maybe your brother in law has died, maybe you lost your childhood home (your parents home) to a terrible hurricane, maybe your wife has gotten breast cancer (all within the last 5 years), but you weren't the focus of millions of people while all this occurred. I would think that the conference was a culmination of his entire career, the ups and the downs. He didn't call the press conference so he could cry. The Packers called it so he could say goodbye to a legion of supporters in the right way. Just because he has money doesn't mean he is blessed.

"2) Conservatives are sick of the feminization or the metrosexualization of a lot of guys. That was her point. If you don't like that, you wouldn't have been able to be a sports fan in the 1950's and 1960's."

Wow. Tough break for me. I guess I won't be able to get in my time machine and go watch Johnny Unitas hold back his tears.

Hey, JMNOR55, were you actually trying to make a valid point?

Favre is about as metrosexual as Don Rickles.

The guy just quit a job he did for 17 years. If he wants to cry a bit about it, who cares?

Why did Fox News hire this nappy headed ho anyway? Oh yeah to be fair and balanced. Like she was when Bill "the Dildo" O'Riley was sexualy harrasing seceterie's" and Rush "Viagra" Limpballs was smuggeling Rx drugs through customs. Oh wait I don't remember that! Hey Laura want a damn good story? Find out why Mr. Limpballs needs all that viagra if he was on a secluded place with a few of his buddies,or why Dildo O'Riley needed to know if that woman had a tool at home. Leave sports to the real men would you please.
